8 Free Days Out and Things to Do With Kids in East Yorkshire
I'm still adding to this list, so keep checking back, please get in touch if you've got any hidden gems to recommend, or if you have a picture to replace any that I'm missing (ie the places that have words). As a thank you, I'll send a 20% money off voucher to spend in the shop for anything that gets used.
I've tried to make sure that all the details on here are up to date, but please do double check on the websites I've linked to before you travel in case anything has changed. Although I'd love to be able to travel to every place on here, time and practicalities dictate that I've sourced a lot of information from 3rd parties so some information might be incorrect (Please let me know if you spot anything that is so that I can amend it).
Especially important: double check parking costs to avoid any nasty surprises on a day out that was supposed to be cheap, and obviously, be careful if you're visiting places with kids, especially where the terrain is dangerous (ruins, cliffs, beaches, slippy paths etc).
Happy adventuring!
Explore 200 years of transport history as you walk down a 1940s high street, board a tram, and enjoy a carriage ride.
Learn local history, all about Victorian times, and about Ancient Egypt in the old grammar school where William Wilberforce studied.
A museum of archeology, exploring 235 milion years of history, from woolly mammoths to Saxon invadors. Check out the Iran Age village, Roman bath house, and medieval treasures.
There's a steep climb down (and back up again), but you're rewarded with a great place to spot puffins, stunning scenery, and caves to explore (keep an eye on tide times).
An iconic, constantly shifting peninsular. Great for a walk (it's 3 miles one way to the point). Check out the discovery centre. There's also a lighthouse to explore (with a fee, and entry conditions). Check what's on. Remember to take note of tide times.
A beautiful sandy beach, less busy than the nearby north beach (head there if you fancy a more traditional seaside town experience with more amenaties and things to do).
Set alongside the iconic bridge, this park is a 48 acre wood surrounded by chalk cliffs. there are trails to help you explore the grasslands and wetlands, and meadows. There's a Pheonix sculpture trail, a bird feeding station and a playground.
You know what the kids would love to be filling in as you're exploring new places? An epic activity pack! And it should be filled with easy activity ideas, and stickers, and personalised!
